Magnir-Icent Magnir-Icent colleges giace and add lustio to Its natui.il beauty, and a splendid distilet school system serves as a feed-ei feed-ei for the higher schools. -This condition Is greatly different from tirty jeaisago when tho Island, now dotted with beautiful icsldences, was a mass of undeigrowth and a lende.vous for such wild animals as gil.ly bear and mountain lions.

Wellsvillo can claim the honor of being the oldest settlement In Caclie Valley, and one of the most solid cities of the County at the present day. It was in '.17 that Peter Maughau, with a number of others, came into the valley and stopped at tho piescnt site of this southern town. The town was then known as Maugh-an's Maugh-an's Foit. The name was changed to Wellsville In honor of Col. Wells, a mllltaiy commaudei In the MO's, and in ISlit) Wellsville was Incorporated as a city. Wm. II. Maughan was elected the lltstmajoi. Tho Hist county court was hold In Wellsville In 18.17, with Peter Maughan as piobite judge. Latei the county seat was tians-reued tians-reued to Logan, thus taking rrom Wellsville its picstige. The city continued con-tinued to glow, howevei.and has a population or 2,000 today. Asa coin-mciclal coin-mciclal town Wellsville is not excelled ex-celled by any of the cities of the county, coun-ty, other than Logan. Men of business busi-ness capacitj leslde in this cltj, and have made of It a business center for thf southwest end of the valley. The Wellsville Co-Op. has alvvajs been known as one of the most successful institutions In the vallej. Hon. Jos. Howell, at piesent a resident resi-dent of Logan, and the Kcpiesenta-tho Kcpiesenta-tho or Utah In the United States Congiess, is a pioduct or Wellsville, and that burg Is Justly proud or Its Tavored son. ff T& A -a JHHHyA-MHP i l J!JHHHHjWhHHHjW i .

Maughan the llrst major or Wellsville, and the gundson or Petei Maughan the rounder or Wellsvillo and pioneer of Caclie Valley, lie is of stui dy Coinlsh stock, and Is one of the most successful and piogiessive business men In Cache county. As outside out-side rustler for the Wellsville Co-op he has brought to that Institution a splendid business. Mr. Maughan headed a Citlens ticket at- the 1 ist election, and the whole bunch was elected by safe majority. The new council at Wellsville Is composed of Wm. Munay, Alex Archibald, Ar-chibald, Ileber C. P.uker, G. Spence, and Louis Watklns. Dan 11. Stewart will do the rccoidlng; Robeit Raxter will handle the money, and Wm.
